[PMID: 38791037 PMCID: PMC11117796 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12051075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The phenomenon of bone metastases presents a significant challenge within the context of advanced cancer treatments, particularly pertaining to breast, prostate, and lung cancers. These metastatic occurrences stem from the dissemination of cancerous cells into the bone, thereby interrupting the equilibrium between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Such disruption results in skeletal complications, adversely affecting patient morbidity and quality of life. This review discusses the intricate interplay between cancer cells and the bone microenvironment, positing the bone not merely as a passive recipient of metastatic cells but as an active contributor to cancer progression through its distinctive biochemical and cellular makeup. A thorough examination of bone structure and the dynamics of bone remodeling is undertaken, elucidating how metastatic cancer cells exploit these processes. This review explores the genetic and molecular pathways that underpin the onset and development of bone metastases. Particular emphasis is placed on the roles of cytokines and growth factors in facilitating osteoclastogenesis and influencing osteoblast activity. Additionally, this paper offers a meticulous critique of current diagnostic methodologies, ranging from conventional radiography to advanced molecular imaging techniques, and discusses the implications of a nuanced understanding of bone metastasis biology for therapeutic intervention. This includes the development of targeted therapies and strategies for managing bone pain and other skeletal-related events. Moreover, this review underscores the imperative of ongoing research efforts aimed at identifying novel therapeutic targets and refining management approaches for bone metastases. It advocates for a multidisciplinary strategy that integrates advancements in medical oncology and radiology with insights derived from molecular biology and genetics, to enhance prognostic outcomes and the quality of life for patients afflicted by this debilitating condition. In summary, bone metastases constitute a complex issue that demands a comprehensive and informed approach to treatment. This article contributes to the ongoing discourse by consolidating existing knowledge and identifying avenues for future investigation, with the overarching objective of ameliorating patient care in the domain of oncology.

Abstract
The role of serum albumin (ALB) has been extensively studied in patients with cancer; however, research on its effect on bone metastasis in these patients remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum ALB and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in patients with tumors. Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011 to 2018, we assessed the correlation between serum ALB and ALP levels using a weighted multivariate linear regression model, whereas a weighted generalized additive model and smooth curve fitting were used to address potential nonlinearities. A total of 1876 patients with cancer were included in our study. In the subgroup analysis stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, and liver disease, the negative correlation of ALB with ALP remained for most groups, except in blacks (β = -1.755, 95%CI: [-3.848, 0.338], P = .103) and patients with gout (β = -0.676, 95%CI: [-2.061, 0.709], P = .340). In black people and patients with gout, the relationship between ALB and ALP showed an inverted U-shaped curve, with an inflection point at approximately 42 g/dL. Our study showed an inverse correlation between ALB and ALP levels in most patients with tumors, but not in black patients and those with gout. The measurement of ALB levels can serve as a screening tool for bone metastases while guiding therapeutic intervention strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Denosumab has been approved for the treatment of bone metastases from solid tumors. QL1206 is the first denosumab biosimilar and needs to be compared with denosumab in a phase III trial. OBJECTIVE This phase III trial aims to compare the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics between QL1206 and denosumab in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors. METHODS This randomized, double-blind, phase III trial was conducted in 51 centers in China. Patients aged 18-80 years, with solid tumors and bone metastases, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2 were eligible. This study was divided into a 13-week double-blind period, a 40-week open-label period, and a 20-week safety follow-up period. In the double-blind period, patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive three doses of QL1206 or denosumab (120 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks, each). Randomization was stratified by tumor types, previous skeletal-related events, and current systemic anti-tumor therapy. In the open-label period, up to ten doses of QL1206 could be given in both groups. The primary endpoint was percentage change in urinary N-telopeptide/creatinine ratio (uNTX/uCr) from baseline to Week 13. Equivalence margins were ± 0.135. Secondary endpoints included percentage change in uNTX/uCr at Week 25 and 53, percentage change in serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase at Week 13, 25, and 53, and time to on-study skeletal-related events. The safety profile was evaluated based on adverse events and immunogenicity. RESULTS From September 2019 to January 2021, in the full analysis set, 717 patients were randomly assigned to receive QL1206 (n = 357) or denosumab (n = 360). Median percentage changes in uNTX/uCr at Week 13 in two groups were - 75.2% and - 75.8%, respectively. Least-squares mean difference in the natural log-transformed ratio of uNTX/uCr at Week 13 to baseline between the two groups was 0.012 (90% confidence interval - 0.078 to 0.103), within the equivalence margins. There were no differences in the secondary endpoints between the two groups (all p > 0.05). Adverse events, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Denosumab biosimilar QL1206 had promising efficacy, tolerable safety, and pharmacokinetics equivalent to denosumab and could benefit patients with bone metastases from solid tumors. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04550949, retrospectively registered on 16 September, 2020.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Bone metastasis, which usually accompanies severe skeletal-related events, is the most common site for tumor distant dissemination and detected in more than one-third of patients with advanced lung cancer. Biopsy and imaging play critical roles in the diagnosis of bone metastasis; however, these approaches are characterized by evident limitations. Recently, studies regarding potential biomarkers in the serum, urine, and tumor tissue, were performed to predict the bone metastases and prognosis in patients with lung cancer. In this review, we summarize the findings of recent clinical research studies on biomarkers detected in samples obtained from patients with lung cancer bone metastasis. These markers include the following: (1) bone resorption-associated markers, such as N-terminal telopeptide (NTx)/C-terminal telopeptide (CTx), C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx-I), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRACP-5b), pyridinoline (PYD), and parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrP); (2) bone formation-associated markers, including total serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP)/bone specific alkaline phosphatase(BAP), osteopontin (OP), osteocalcin (OS), amino-terminal extension propeptide of type I procollagen/carboxy-terminal extension propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP/PINP); (3) signaling markers, including epidermal growth factor receptor/Kirsten rat sarcoma/anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EGFR/KRAS/ALK), receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand/receptor activator of nuclear factor κB/osteoprotegerin (RANKL/RANK/OPG), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12/C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCL12/CXCR4), complement component 5a receptor (C5AR); and (4) other potential markers, such as calcium sensing receptor (CASR), bone sialoprotein (BSP), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), cytokeratin 19 fragment/carcinoembryonic antigen (CYFRA/CEA), tissue factor, cell-free DNA, long non-coding RNA, and microRNA. The prognostic value of these markers is also investigated. Furthermore, we listed some clinical trials targeting hotspot biomarkers in advanced lung cancer referring for their therapeutic effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This retrospective study aimed to elucidate the impact of the initial site of recurrence on relapse-free survival and post-recurrence survival (PRS) after the curative resection of primary lung cancer. METHODS We enrolled 325 patients who developed recurrence after curative resection of pathological stage I-IIIA primary lung cancer between January 2006 and December 2018 at the Kanagawa Cancer Center. Cases were classified as follows based on the initial site of recurrence: cervicothoracic lymph node (n = 144), lung (n = 121), pleural dissemination (n = 52), bone (n = 59), brain and meningeal dissemination (n = 50) and abdominal organ (n = 34) cases. The relapse-free survival and PRS of patients with and without recurrence at each site were compared using the log-rank test. The impact of the initial site of recurrence on PRS was analysed using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Relapse-free survival was significantly poorer in patients with abdominal organ recurrence than in patients without abdominal organ recurrence (11.5 vs 17.6 months, P = 0.024). The PRS of patients with bone and abdominal organ recurrences was worse than that of patients without bone (18.4 vs 31.1 months, P < 0.001) or abdominal organ (13.8 vs 30.6 months, P < 0.001) recurrence. Multiple recurrence sites were observed more frequently in patients with bone and abdominal organ recurrences. Bone [hazard ratio (HR) 2.13; P < 0.001] and abdominal organ metastasis (HR 1.71; P = 0.026) were independent poor prognostic factors for PRS. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests surveillance for abdominal organ recurrence in the early postoperative period. Patients with bone and abdominal organ recurrence should receive multimodality treatment to improve their prognosis.

Abstract
Skeletal metastases are frequent complications of many cancers, causing bone complications (fractures, bone pain, disability) that negatively affect the patient's quality of life. Here, we first discuss the burden of skeletal complications in cancer bone metastasis. We then describe the pathophysiology of bone metastasis. Bone metastasis is a multistage process: long before the development of clinically detectable metastases, circulating tumor cells settle and enter a dormant state in normal vascular and endosteal niches present in the bone marrow, which provide immediate attachment and shelter, and only become active years later as they proliferate and alter the functions of bone-resorbing (osteoclasts) and bone-forming (osteoblasts) cells, promoting skeletal destruction. The molecular mechanisms involved in mediating each of these steps are described, and we also explain how tumor cells interact with a myriad of interconnected cell populations in the bone marrow, including a rich vascular network, immune cells, adipocytes, and nerves. We discuss metabolic programs that tumor cells could engage with to specifically grow in bone. We also describe the progress and future directions of existing bone-targeted agents and report emerging therapies that have arisen from recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of bone metastases. Finally, we discuss the value of bone turnover biomarkers in detection and monitoring of progression and therapeutic effects in patients with bone metastasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Elevated liver enzyme concentrations in blood are indicative of liver diseases and may provide an early signal for being at risk for other chronic diseases. Our study aimed to assess the relationships of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and the De Ritis ratio (AST/ALT) with incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and the four most common cancers, that is, breast, prostate, colorectal and lung. SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND OUTCOME MEASURES We analysed a case-cohort sample of the prospective European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Heidelberg cohort, including cancer (n=1632), cancer mortality (n=761), CVD (n=1070), CVD mortality (n=381) and a random subcohort (n=2739) with an average follow-up duration of 15.6 years. Concentrations of liver enzymes were measured in prediagnostic blood samples and Prentice-weighted Cox regression models were used to estimate HRs with 95% CIs. RESULTS High ALP levels were associated with increased risk for lung cancer and all-cause mortality (highest vs lowest quartile, multivariable adjusted HR=2.39 (95% CI 1.30 to 4.39), HR=1.31 (95% CI 1.02 to 1.67)), high AST levels with all-cause mortality (HR=1.45 (95% CI 1.15 to 1.82)), and a high De Ritis ratio with prostate cancer risk, all-cause and cancer mortality (HR=1.61 (95% CI 1.10 to 2.36), HR=1.60 (95% CI 1.25 to 2.04), HR=1.67 (95% CI 1.26 to 2.23)). Using cut-points for liver enzyme levels above normal, we observed positive associations for all-cause mortality with ALP, GGT and AST, and assigning a combined risk score resulted in positive associations with all-cause and cause-specific mortality. CONCLUSIONS Measurements of serum liver enzymes, as routinely performed in health check-ups, may support the identification of individuals at increased risk for all-cause mortality. Further prospective studies are needed to verify our first results on individual cancers and on a combined risk score.

Clinical value of serum bone resorption markers for predicting clinical outcomes after use of bone modifying agents in metastatic bone tumors: A prospective cohort study. Int J Cancer 2019; 146:3504-3515.

Abstract
Bone modifying agents (BMAs) have become a standard treatment to prevent skeletal-related events (SREs) in bone metastases (BMs). The aim of our study is to determine the clinical value of serum bone resorption markers for predicting clinical outcomes after using BMAs in patients with BM. Patients were enrolled between May 2013 and October 2017 at the Nagoya University Hospital, Japan. We prospectively observed changes in pyridinoline cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b) during treatment with BMAs. The relationship between serum markers before and after treatment and clinical outcomes such as progression of bone disease (BD), SREs and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. Pearson chi-square test and Kaplan-Meier product limit methods were used for analysis. Sixty-seven patients were analyzed. The primary tumor sites were 21 lung, 16 breast and 30 others. Forty and 27 patients were treated with Denosumab and Zoledronic acid, respectively. Progression of BDs, SREs and death were observed in 10, 16 and 31 cases, respectively. The median follow-up period after using BMAs was 12.3 (range 0.3-66.3) months. ICTP at 3-4 weeks was significantly correlated with increasing BD progression, SREs and death after treatment in both the whole and lung cancer cohorts. Base line ICTP and TRACP-5b were also associated with increasing BD progression in the whole cohort. Our study showed that early posttreatment ICTP is useful for predicting BD progression, SREs and OS after use of BMAs in patients with BM and even in patients with lung cancer BM.

Abstract
AIM Estimate the incidence of bone metastases (BM) and skeletal-related events according to the histological subtype of lung cancer and its impact on patient survival. PATIENTS & METHODS Retrospective cohort study was carried out with patients diagnosed with lung cancer. Cumulative incidence, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the risk of death were estimated. RESULTS In non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the cumulative incidence of BM during follow-up was 23.8% at 24 months; in small-cell lung cancer, it was 18.5%. The presence of BM in patients with NSCLC was associated with an increased risk of death (hazard ratio: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.04-1.49; p = 0.013). CONCLUSION This study revealed a high incidence of BM and skeletal-related events. BM was associated with a poor prognosis in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
中晚期恶性肿瘤容易发生骨转移,随诊疗水平不断提升使其生存期得以延长,骨转移发生率亦随之增加。其中,肺癌是全世界癌症相关死亡的首要原因,晚期肺癌患者骨转移发生率为30%-40%。传统的肺癌骨转移诊断通常依据临床症状、X线、计算机断层扫描(computed tomography, CT)、核磁共振(magnetic resonance imaging, MRI)等影像学及病理,基于血液标记物检测作为骨转移筛查与疗效评估的探索性研究近年多有报道。本文综述了肺癌骨转移诊断标记物的研究进展。

Abstract
CONTEXT Lung cancer still remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Bone is one of preferred metastatic sites for lung cancer cells. So far, both accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of lung cancer bone metastases are difficult. OBJECTIVE This review aimed to evaluate roles of bone turnover markers (BTMs), microRNAs (miRNAs), dickkopf1 (DKK1) and insulin like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) in lung cancer bone metastases. METHODS We searched articles about these four biomarkers in lung cancer bone metastases mainly in PubMed. RESULT The levels of bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type-I collagen (ICTP) and N-terminal telopeptides of type-I collagen (NTX) were reported to be significantly increased in lung cancer patients with bone metastases. ALP, NTX and bone sialoprotein were thought to be associated with prognosis of lung cancer patients with bone metastases. MiRNA-335, miRNA-33a, miRNA-21, DKK1 and IGFBP-3 were revealed to be novel biomarkers in lung cancer bone metastases. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Current researches have revealed that BTMs, miRNAs, DKK1 and IGFBP-3 may be useful in diagnosis, prognosis evaluation or treatment of lung cancer bone metastases. More studies about these biomarkers in lung cancer bone metastases are needed.

Abstract
Objective The prognosis for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is related to a high rate of metastasis, including 30% of bone metastasis. In this study, we investigate the correlation between diverse clinical factors and bone metastases secondary from renal cell cancer (RCC), and to identify potential risk factors for bone metastasis in newly diagnosed patients and those who have already received treatment. Methods The clinical data of 372 patients with RCC were reviewed from January 2000 to August 2016. The correlations between age, gender, histopathologic types, alkaline phosphotase (ALP), CEA, AFP, CA-125, CA-153, CA-199, calcium, hemoglobin (HB) and bone metastases were analyzed. And the risk factors for bone metastases in RCC were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The cutoff value, sensitivity and specificity of the independent correlation factors were calculated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The bone is the second to the lung as a distant metastasis target site in patients with RCC. Thirty eight individuals were identified with bone metastases. Of these patients, significantly higher levels of ALP, calcium, HB were found than those without bone metastasis (P < 0.05, respectively). No significant differences were detected in CEA, AFP, CA-125, CA-153, CA-199, age, gender and histopathologic types between patients with and without bone metastases (P > 0.05, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that ALP, calcium and HB were independent risk factors correlated with bone metastasis (P < 0.05, respectively). ROC curves demonstrated these factors had comparable accuracy at predicting bone metastasis (AUC were 0.749, 0.633 and 0.665, respectively). The cutoff values of ALP, calcium and HB were 105.5 U/L, 2.615 mmol/L and 111.5 g/L, respectively. The sensitivities of them were 57.9%, 36.8% and 71.1% for predicting bone metastasis, with specificities of 83.5%, 95.2% and 65.3%, respectively. Conclusion Based on our study, the concentrations of ALP, calcium and HB were potentially risk factors for bone metastasis in patients with RCC. For newly diagnosed patients, if the values of ALP>105.5 U/L, calcium>2.615 mmol/L and HB<111.5 g/L were detected, intensive monitoring and bone scanning are warranted for them.
